Thank you for reading and commenting! This was my first Jack/Daniel so I'm relieved that it wasn't a complete disaster :)

Aw! That's completely adorable and so them, it left a silly smile on my face.

[ladytalon1]

Aw, thank you :D

Lovely and smile-making, the set-up as much as the contented companionship it leads up to. Mmmm.

[ladytalon1]

Thank you :)

This is cute and believable. I love Jack's efforts to take care of Daniel, and the bonding over their mutual dislike of holidays.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to comment :)

This is a delight, but I think my favorite bit is with Jack broaching the subject off-world...

...casually, as they’re running away - no, strategically retreating - from a handful of Serpent Guards. “So, fishing next week?”

“What?” Daniel, for his part, simply looks bewildered at the non sequitur.

So like Jack to ask when a stay shot can give a good excuse for a 'no' answer, or maybe cover up everthing.

Thank you!

I'm glad you liked it!

This is what happened roughly 3 hours later, after all the beer was gone:

Empty beer bottles lay strewn about on the table, and one describes a slow circle on the floor as if playing a phantom game of Spin The Bottle. Another clatters to the floor as a flailing limb knocks it from its perch; it rolls to a stop beside the pair of glasses that have been carefully placed out of harm’s way.

“Wait, let me just - oh, that’s… that’s nice.”

“For cryin’ out loud! Nice? That’s one of my best moves!”

The couch springs groan in protest.

“Oh my God, yes….!”

“Which god would that be?”

“Jack?”

“Yes, Daniel.”

“Shut up
